Distorted History

 It struck me recently how little we understand the past. I was reading an article titled The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894 and it begins as follows:

By the late 1800s, large cities all around the world were “drowning in horse manure”. In order for these cities to function, they were dependent on thousands of horses for the transport of both people and goods.

In 1900, there were over 11,000 hansom cabs on the streets of London alone. There were also several thousand horse-drawn buses, each needing 12 horses per day, making a staggering total of over 50,000 horses transporting people around the city each day.

To add to this, there were yet more horse-drawn carts and drays delivering goods around what was then the largest city in the world.

This huge number of horses created major problems. The main concern was the large amount of manure left behind on the streets. On average a horse will produce between 15 and 35 pounds of manure per day, so you can imagine the sheer scale of the problem. The manure on London’s streets also attracted huge numbers of flies which then spread typhoid fever and other diseases.

Of course, you never get a sense of that in movies set in that period, probably because the directors are not aware that there was such a problem but even if they were it would be difficult to recreate and would only distract from the plot anyway. There's a tendency to imagine that the not too distant past was not all that different from the present time and differed largely only in respect of certain technological innovations being missing. 

Even more recently, beginning in the 1940s, whole neighborhoods were doused in DDT as this video shows and this article explains. To quote from the article:

Shocking 1940s video shows how US children were sprayed with dangerous pesticide as neighbourhoods were gassed with the 'miracle cure' that could kill mosquitoes and end Polio ... DDT became prevalent in the United States from around 1943 onwards as many viewed it as a miracle cure for polio. An astonishing 1.34 billion tonnes of the chemical was sprayed across the United States in the years between 1946 and 1962. Its impact on the environment was significant, making its way into the food supply and being reported to cause neurological problems in livestock such as cows. While the effects on people are more widely debated, there are still reports of significant health issues being caused as a result of exposure to DDT. The Pesticide Action Network (PAN) of North America states: 'Studies show a range of human health effects linked to DDT and its breakdown product, DDE including, breast and other cancers, male infertility, miscarriages and low birth weight, developmental delay and nervous system and liver damage.' DDT was used well into the 1950s. After a review the U.S. government moved to ban its use in 1972.

I was a child in the 1950s and fortunately, as far as I can remember, DDT wasn't sprayed about in Brisbane Australia but it clearly was in the United States and probably other countries. The irony is that DDT can cause polio-like symptoms as explained in the book The Moth in the Iron Lung: A Biography of Polio. Without proper historical knowledge, an understanding of the rise and fall of the polio epidemic in the 20th century is impossible. The same is true of the Spanish Flu that followed in the aftermath of the Great War.

The narrative being pushed by the media and the medical mafia is that modern medicine has triumphed and continues to triumph over the onslaught of dangerous pathogens. The reality is vastly different of course and the examples of polio and the Spanish flu are a reminder of this.

Vaccines and the Spanish Flu

I watched a BitChute video today titled THE TRUTH REGARDING THE 1918 SPANISH FLU AND THE LINK TO TODAY. The hypothesis is that the Spanish Flu was really caused by a faulty meningococcal vaccine, produced by the Rockefeller Foundation and administered to US troops embarking for the Western Front. The fact that the Reuters Fact Check team were quick to jumpt on it enhances its credibility.

In investigating the matter further, I came across this article that suggests the hypothesis is plausible:

World War I (1914-1918) occurred at a key transition period in the history of medicine, a time when there was a gap “between knowledge and effective action,” according to a paper published last week in the journal Lancet.

Although many physicians at the start of the war still clung to the old idea that infectious diseases were caused by “bad” air and unpleasant smells (miasma), a growing number — including William Gorgas, who served as surgeon general of the U.S. Army Surgeon General during the war — had come to accept that microorganisms were really the source of such illnesses, writes Dr. G. Dennis Shanks, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at the Australian Army Malaria Institute.

Yet although Gorgas and others knew, at least rudimentarily, what caused diseases like typhoid, tetanus and tuberculosis, their understanding was of limited use, Shanks points out. Antibiotics had not yet been developed, and vaccines were mostly crudely brewed mixtures of killed bacteria. As a result, military doctors had few effective tools on hand to fight any kind of infection.

“Controlled clinical trials had yet to be devised,” says Shanks. “Treatment was by trial and error or dictated by authority.”

Still, he adds, “medical science was progressing, and got drawn into the maelstrom of World War I. Medical laboratories … were deployed with the armies. Top research physicians joined the war as uniformed specialist consultants. … New drugs and vaccines were tried in abundance and reported with remarkable rapidity in medical journals. Some of the interventions worked and became part of the medical armamentarium; others did not and were eventually superseded.”

Another article from FIAR News gives a fair and balanced account of the hypothesis. It is well worth reading in full. To quote from it:

... the emerging evidence supports postulations that the 1918 pandemic was caused by a misguided – and very experimental – Rockefeller Institute meningitis vaccination program which was initiated at Fort Riley by the US military and spread to the world from there. This essay will attempt to briefly document the evidence that is available so far. There will, of course, be many objections to the content of this essay, not only from the ideologues and trolls but from those in high places with vital body organs requiring protection.

I've written about the Spanish Flu before in a post titled Aspirin and the Spanish Flu on October 24th 2019. In that post, I quote from John Hamer's book The Falsification of History:

The 20 to 50 million deaths during 1918 have long been attributed to a virulent new virus but the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) has now clearly stated that common upper respiratory bacteria was responsible, not a new virus.  There was no new deadly virus but there was something new in 1918 and that was toxic aspirin, being used in totally inappropriate, dangerous dosages.  

“... just before the 1918 death spike, aspirin was recommended in regimens now known to be potentially toxic and to cause pulmonary oedema and may therefore have contributed to overall pandemic mortality and several of its mysteries. Young adult mortality may be explained by willingness to use the new, recommended therapy and the presence of youth in regimented treatment settings (military)” stated Dr. Karen Starko.  

Use of Bayer aspirin and other generic aspirin suppressed immunity, allowing the bacteria to develop into a massive bacterial infections and pneumonias.  In addition to the deaths by pneumonia, the use of Bayer aspirin (and generic versions) at toxic doses can explain the lingering mysteries of extremely rapid deterioration from health to death as well as the death of young, apparently otherwise healthy people.  Bayer's heavy advertising and government and medical recommendations fuelled use of both Bayer aspirin and generic versions.  

Based on the primary role that aspirin played in the millions of 1918 deaths versus the survival of those who avoided it in favour of natural treatments, it would suggest that 1918 was not a plague caused by a virus, but a pharmaceutical industry issue.  And given the scale of the deaths, it was without question, the greatest medical catastrophe in human history, exceeding even the ‘Great Plague’ of the Dark and Middle Ages.

The two explanations are not necessarily mutually exclusive. It's possible they both contributed to the staggering death toll. What's clear is that a flu was not the cause of the deaths and that medical mistakes most likely were the culprit.

Insecurity in the Age of Pathogens

The lasting legacy of this current pandemic, or plandemic as some are calling it, on the general population will be a deep sense of insecurity. One day you have a job, the next you don't. One day you have a thriving small business, the next day you're staring at bankruptcy. The rapidity and scale of the global shutdown is without historical precedent.

The police and army seem largely unaffected by the pandemic. I haven't seen any statistics regarding infection rates for these two groups. Additionally, their jobs are secure. Police stations and army posts are not being closed down. Likewise, the jobs of government employees are secure. For persons working in private companies and businesses, jobs can be lost quickly in a pandemic. For example, take this headline from an article that appeared in the Evening Standard on March 16th 2020:

Virgin Atlantic asks staff to take eight weeks
of unpaid leave as it cuts 80% of flights 

For people working in the travel and hospitality industry, things will never be quite the same again. What if there's another pandemic, like COVID-19, next year? The world has been conditioned to the possibility of a pandemic for decades now. The seasonal flu has always been portrayed as the source of a possible pandemic if a particularly virulent strain should arise. The importance of getting your flu shot, as well as a host of other vaccines, has been heavily promoted. 

The spectre of the Spanish Flu of 1918 is always raised as proof of what might happen if we are not on guard. However in a pandemic, while individuals might sicken and die, the world would go on. At least that was the expectation. Now we know that's not the case. The world didn't go on. It stopped, and people lost their jobs or were stranded in foreign countries or on cruise ships. Many people's lives have been turned upside down. Figure 1 shows the death toll as of March 22nd 2020: 

Figure 1: source 

This is a tiny number by global standards. By contrast Figure 2 features an infographic concerning the impact of malaria: 

Figure 2: source 

It's unlikely that the deaths in 2020 from COVID-19 will match the death toll from Malaria. The latter of course is not a pandemic and is endemic in only certain parts of the world. The point is that there are many other illnesses that cause death rates far higher than the current virus and no lockdowns, global or even local, are enforced.

After COVID-19, people are going to be looking for more secure employment. Jobs that are perceived as "pandemic-resistant" will be in high demand. One possible scenario is that most small businesses collapse and are taken over by banks. The businesses however, continue with the owners being paid a salary by the banks. Everybody becomes an employee. As home owners default on their mortgages, banks take them over but people are allowed to continue living in them and paying a nominal rent. Nobody owns anything. Perceiving the vulnerability of workers during pandemic lockdowns, the government introduces a Universal Basic Income for everybody.

The governments and especially the central banks become all powerful. There is no paper money anymore. Your government-allotted income is credited to your bank account. On the pretext of tracing your previous contacts if you are found to be infected, it will be mandated that location-tracking apps be installed on mobile phones and these must be carried on your person when leaving your home. The penalty for not complying as always will be fines or imprisonment. 

So this is the bleak, cashless future. A future in which your location and purchases are constantly tracked. You, like nearly everyone else, works for the government and owns nothing. You are provided with a basic income and accommodation whether you work or not. You must comply with whatever the government tells you to do e.g. submit to vaccinations. As in Huxley's "Brave New World", you may be "happified" with a daily dose of "soma". This dystopia will be packaged and propagandised in a way that makes you feel grateful that you have such benevolent overlords.

Our overlords, having acquired the world's assets and with a militarised police force at their beck and call, will have achieved total control over their underlings (most of whom will have actively supported their enslavement). Decisions as to whether you are allowed to breed or even if you are allowed to live will be decided at their whim.
